It is the summer solstice, which is the longest day and shortest night.
Equinoxes are in spring and autumn, where the day and night are of equal length. Spring Equinox is a fertility festival; bunnies and eggs represent fecundity and new life respectively.
Autumn equinox is a harvest festival.
Winter Solstice is the shortest day and longest night in midwinter, and that is a festival to return light and life to the world.
I hope that peace returns and that one day you will get to see it. The parties in St Petersburg during "beliy noche" (white nights) are unrivaled on the planet.

I really admire Peter the Great and I like that St Petersburg still bears his mark. I'd love to walk through the streets and talk to the locals.
No one on earth tells stories like the Russian people. They have a grip on dark humor that no one else can match.
I have been told by a couple people that learning Russian is worth it, just for the literature.
